Fuel Your Strength

The Fuel Your Strength podcast is all about helping women who lift weights get stronger, fuel themselves (without counting every bite of food), perform better in and out of the gym, and take up space. Strength nutrition strategist and weight lifting coach Steph Gaudreau shares how lifting weights is a catalyst for a more expansive life and how to challenge the status quo around nutrition and fitness. This weekly show brings you discussion about building strength without obsessing about food and exercise, lifting weights, food psychology, and more. You'll learn how to eat, train, recover, listen to your body, and step into your strength.

Living a non-toxic life is more than drinking a detox tea or swapping out your products, it's about creating a space in which your body's natural rhythm can shine. Amanda Montalvo is an integrative dietitian specializing in women's hormones & is passionate about helping others create a more non-toxic lifestyle. Today Amanda is here to talk about periods, poop & sweat, the trifecta of things that nobody really wants to talk about, but that significantly impact our hormones & how we feel.

About Amanda Montalvo

Amanda believes that by viewing toxin detoxifying as a cumulative process you can feel empowered to take steps towards achieving your goal and living a more natural life on a day to day basis. On this episode, we explore everything from embracing that you can be strong without achieving a certain ‘look’, understanding how our environment impacts the way our body functions, raising awareness around what is considered normal when it comes to pooping and so much more.

Once you are able to get your body to a state of homeostasis, you will be able to lose weight easier, sleep better and understand what is going on inside your body so you can make the best decisions to serve yourself. It is time to ditch the self-deprecating attitude towards your body and find natural, non-toxic ways of nourishing your body and taking care of it the way it needs to be taken care of.

Are you ready to ditch the toxins and start talking to yourself like you are your own best friend? Let us know what steps you are taking to live a more non-toxic life in the comments on the episode page.
